Shark Rocket Pet Pro IZ162H

Verdict

The Shark Rocket Pet Pro IZ162H is a powerful cordless stick vacuum with outstanding suction, a truly tangle-free self-cleaning brush roll, and excellent cleaning on hard floors and surface-level carpets. Its average battery life, only okay crevice performance, heavier feel, and basic accessories are drawbacks, but overall it delivers strong whole-home cleaning with sealed HEPA filtration at a competitive price.

Pros

  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
  • Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
    Fine dust pickup on hard floors is excellent, consistently clearing small debris in front of the head and standing out as one of the vacuum's biggest strengths.
  • Filtration / Dust Containment ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
    A sealed HEPA anti-allergen system keeps captured dust from leaking back into the room, a feature still rare among cordless vacuums at this price.
  • Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
    The tall front gates let the head swallow medium to extra-large debris on hard floors, only struggling slightly with oversized pieces like big cereal.
  • Suction & Airflow ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
  • Carpet — Low-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
    Surface-level pickup on carpets is strong, as the head can grab everything from fine debris to larger crumbs in a single pass.
  • Controls & UI ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  • Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
    Overall, reviews portray the Rocket Pet Pro as a powerful, feature-rich cordless stick with excellent hard-floor and hair performance, balanced by average deep-cleaning, middling weight, and somewhat clunky tools and storage.
  • Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  • Bin & Bag ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  • Battery & Charging ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
  • Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
    Deep cleaning on medium-pile carpet is solid at around 92 percent pickup, with increased brush-roll RPM helping lift embedded debris, though the large-debris-focused head keeps it from being truly class-leading.

Cons

  • Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0
    Crevice pickup is serviceable but only average, typically requiring several passes and limited somewhat by the wide front gates on the floorhead.
  • Storage footprint & upright-stand stability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0
  • Accessories & Tools ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.5
  • Weight ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.5
    The Rocket Pet Pro is lighter than some earlier Shark sticks but still feels a bit heavy in hand compared with the lightest cordless vacuums.
